Liu Xiu personally commanded and surrounded Zhending City and attacked from all directions.

This time he went on the expedition, he brought out 60,000 people, all of whom were elite imperial guards, and had strong combat effectiveness. This army was disciplined, well-trained, and had a very organized action. After hearing the orders for attack, he immediately began to attack the city in an orderly manner.

Because the emperor personally supervised the battle, from generals to soldiers, he worked hard to break through Zhending City, capture Jianshi Emperor alive, and establish unparalleled achievements.

Under this momentum, everyone is infected and infected others, allowing them to muster up more courage than usual, forget their fear of death, and rushed towards the city without hesitation.

Liu Xiu's big star stood in front of the formation, inspiring the soldiers to fight hard.

It seemed as if he was competing with Liu Xiu, and Liu Yu's big penis was steadily on the top of the city.

Two emperors who now have the only hope of becoming the co-lord of the world confront each other across the air, one on the city and the other under the city. Although they cannot see each other's faces, their pride, their courage to overwhelm, and their heroism fill every sky and every inch of land.

The war drums sounded, which was their challenge to each other. The two seemed to be talking from a distance, "Come on, let me try your weight!" "Come on, let me see your background!"

The crowds were surging, and the sound of killing was everywhere, and the air was filled with bloody spirit of life and death. This was not only a dispute between the two, but also a dispute between the world. The victory or defeat of this war will determine the belonging of the world and the future direction of the Han Dynasty.

"Liu Xiu is really trying hard." Liu Yu held the city wall with his hand, looked down from the battlement, and suddenly laughed: "The dog rushed to jump over the wall, but he didn't know how high the city was or how thick the wall was."

Zhending City was the old nest of King Liu Yang of Zhending back then. Liu Yang worked hard in Zhending Kingdom for many years and had been secretly planning to raise troops to seize power. He prepared armored troops, repaired the city, and continuously strengthened the city defense, and built several cities of Zhending Kingdom extremely strong, especially Zhending City, which made great efforts.

After Liu Yang's conspiracy was exposed and executed, someone suggested that Liu Xiu destroy several cities in Zhending to prevent Liu Yang from rekindling and make these cities be used by those who are interested. However, because the war between the Han Dynasty started, the Zhending Kingdom was very close to Taihang Mountain. In order to retreat at the time of the time, Liu Xiu still left these cities. Unexpectedly, all these were left to Liu Yu, and now Zhending has become Liu Yu's shelter.

Wang Meng walked up and said, "Your Majesty, the city is dangerous. Please go down to the city as soon as possible!"

Liu Yu looked at Liu Xiu's big banner under the city and said, "I won't go anywhere!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a crossbow arrow roared and shot a guard beside the emperor to the ground.

The guard leader Niu Decao immediately took a step forward, stood in front of the emperor, and shouted: "Protect your carriage and protect your Majesty!"

The guards immediately surrounded the emperor and protected Liu Yu with their bodies.

Seeing that the emperor was determined, Wang Meng stopped saying anything, but sent someone to send a big shield to cover the emperor's feather arrows.

Because the emperor's flag was located, this city head became the target of public criticism. Crossbow arrows flew over like locusts, nailed to the city wall and the shield, making a sound. Two guards around the emperor were already caught in the arrows, but two of them immediately filled the vacant seats.

As if he was competing with Liu Yu, Liu Xiu's big star under the city stood proudly, and even if tens of thousands of arrows were fired in the city, he would not step back.

Liu Yu looked from afar and said, "It's impolite to come but not go. Let the sound camp draw the big yellow crossbow and aim at Liu Xiu's big star to launch it in a concentrated manner. As long as he forces his big star to retreat, even if it's just a few steps, it's a great achievement!"

The general flags in the three armies are the weather vane of morale. All the soldiers of the army look at the flag and advance and retreat with their advance and retreat. No matter how unfavorable the situation is, as long as the main general's flag does not fall, it cannot be said that the battle has failed. If the flag is advanced forward, the situation will be great, and the soldiers of the three armies will definitely boost their morale and burst out with amazing combat power.

Now that both emperors have taken the battle personally, the two big flags have become symbols of the momentum of the two armies and even the fortune of the two countries. Liu Xiu and Liu Yu do not want to show weakness.

In terms of terrain, Liu Yu, who was standing at the top of the city, had the upper hand, while Liu Xiu was at the disadvantage.

The city is protected by battlements, and the enemy's backfire is insufficient, the angle is insufficient, and the lethality is limited to the city, but the city is different. Although Liu Xiu's position is not within the range of ordinary bows and arrows, according to Liu Yu's visual observation, the ten-stone yellow crossbow should be able to reach it.

Liu Xiu was exposed to the threat of a powerful crossbow. I don’t know if he didn’t pay attention or did this on purpose. He was on the front line, so that the soldiers could feel that the emperor was fighting with them, thereby enhancing the morale of the whole team. Judging from Liu Xiu’s personality, it should be intentional.

Once attacked, can Liu Xiu be in danger for a long time? Liu Yu wants to try it out, and maybe after a few rounds of powerful crossbows, Liu Xiu will retreat. As long as his big sword takes a step back, he will lose a little momentum. The first battle between the two armies was a battle of momentum. Liu Xiu's army had just arrived and was full of momentum, and the morale of the entire army was very high. Liu Yu wanted to destroy Liu Xiu's momentum at the beginning and take the initiative in this offensive and defensive battle.

This time, Liu Yu's troops left Jingxing because the road was narrow, the large siege equipment was not brought out, and there were not enough horses. Among all the weapons, the number of crossbows was brought the most, and the preparations were the most fully prepared.

After receiving the emperor's order, the sound shooting camp immediately dispatched a team of people, carrying four rhubarb three-consecutive crossbows and twenty rhubarbs, which were arranged high above the city wall, specifically responsible for sniping Liu Xiu.

In the small Zhending City, there were as many as 23,000 people in the Yulin Army alone, not to mention the local surrendered army and temporary civilians. There were enough people to defend the city, there was no shortage of crossbows, and there were all personnel and equipment.

The arrow density on the city was too high, and the condescending strong bows and crossbows were extremely lethal. The attacker suffered great losses before he was constantly eliminating obstacles outside the city and approaching the city wall. Soldiers kept getting caught in arrows, knocked to the ground, fell into the moat, and were stepped on by the robes behind him.

Although there were heavy casualties, these were expected. Siege battles have always been the most common way of war. Although Liu Xiu was known as kind, as a horse emperor, his heart had long been polished to be rough and hard by the battlefield, and would not have any emotional fluctuations due to the soldiers' successive deaths.

Liu Xiu sat upright on the horse, looking at the soldiers with a calm expression, and people kept falling under arrows. The nearby servant stepped forward and advised: "This is dangerous, please retreat a little."

Liu Xiu shouted: "All soldiers are moving forward, how can I move backward? Pass my will and anyone who dares to retreat will be killed! If I retreat, I will also be engaged in military law!"

The emperor's firmness has a huge effect on encouraging the morale of the army, but the emperor is also a human being, not a god, and the battlefield will not treat the emperor and ordinary soldiers differently. If he is hit by an arrow, the emperor will die and be injured.

The guards nervously guarded around the emperor, blocking the flying crossbow arrows with shields. However, the condescending terrain on the city made them unable to escape even if they covered their bodies in airtight, and there were flaws above their heads. Today there were particularly many arrows, right next to Liu Xiu, and his close servants kept falling down.

The guards finally realized something was wrong. There were too many crossbow arrows around their emperor. It seemed that the enemy regarded the emperor as a living target and poured crossbow arrows towards them with all their might, hoping to be fatal to one blow.

When they looked back at the emperor, they saw that Liu Xiu had already dismounted the horse. The tall horse was the most conspicuous target. Although Liu Xiu had the courage, he was not a reckless person. Of course, he knew how to stay away from risks on the battlefield.

He stood there and said, "The Cattle-herding Emperor will not retreat, and I will never retreat, and my big sword will never take a step back!"

He threw the whip to the guards and ordered: "Beat the drum, beat all the war drums to strengthen the power of our army!"

The sound of war drums sounded, shaking the sky and the earth. The soldiers rushed forward with the urging of the drums, but they couldn't move forward in the rain of arrows.

Liu Xiu remained silent, but was a little worried, "I didn't expect the opponent's crossbow weapon to be so powerful. This battle would be difficult to fight. If I could not win the Zhending in one go, I still don't know how many casualties would be."

He stared at the emperor's flag on the top of the city, as if he was watching Liu Yu laughing at him, as if he was saying: "Come on, come and die!"

Liu Xiu and Liu Yu looked at each other from afar, comparing with each other with momentum. The two emperors' flags stood from morning to dusk until both sides lost the strength to withdraw their troops. Neither of them was willing to take a step back. For this reason, Liu Xiu was almost shot, but Liu Yu was actually lucky.

An arrow flew over his shoulder, leaving a wound that was a little deeper and blood flowed out, making his shoulder red.

When everyone was panicked, Liu Yu laughed and said, "It's just a hole, what's the point? I feel that a little blood will make me more heroic and masculine."

Everyone looked at their emperor with reverence, only his close-kick General Banden lowered his head and glanced at the corner of his mouth with a slight hint.

At the end of the first day of the siege, Liu Xiu cleared the obstacles outside the city, cleaned up the siege site, and was about to start climbing the city wall. For Liu Yu, the real test has been reached.

Sure enough, the next day, Liu Xiu's siege was extremely powerful, which made the soldiers guarding the city busy, and the casualties of the soldiers gradually increased, and the defenders began to withstand the real test.

Liu Xiu issued a reward quotation, "Those who first ascend to the throne will be granted marquis, those who kill the generals will be granted marquis, and those who kill the Jianshi Emperor will be granted marquis, and those who kill the marquis of Wanhu."

Although there was no confrontation between two emperors on this day, Liu Xiu personally came out to cheer, which inspired the soldiers' momentum to the extreme, causing the soldiers to experience a very difficult day.

Liu Xiu said: "The enemy's virtual and real are known. At most, our army will surely win in two days!"

Liu Yu said: "The enemy's troops stopped fighting in the city for two days, and their momentum has gradually declined. Their failure is not far away!"
